    Can't go wrong for that price. Its one of my favorite saws. I cut big pine mostly so mine sports a 24 inch bar all the time but with a 16 or 18inch it sounds pissed off, fun little runner.

    To me they look different, mine has 3 noticeable stair stepped rings yours appears to have 1 You may be just fine if your getting .018-.021 without a gasket. Yamma bond or comparable sealant should give you a couple thousandths extra clearance

    I wish this was a pic after being cleaned up but if you look you can see the double ring.

    I would think so. Look real close in your cylinder, there's a chance you have a different year and manufacturer of the cylinder who knows it may not have the second ring like mine. I had to make if I remember right a .005 thick gasket

    Tp change the squish I had to machine around 20 thousandths off the outside top lip of the piston. You have the regular squish band in the cylinder and then a second ring about 1/32 wide. When I first checked squish with the thinner base gasket I had 21 thousandths on the main ring squish band...

    I just found a thread about cords per day

    Lucky I enjoy cutting. I cut for my home and both sets of parents. I'm on 18 or 19 cord this year. It's a fun hobby, glad I don't do it for a living though.

    Teach me please!!

    Something else I get away with though frowned upon is I set my rakers at 45 thousandth but pine is so soft it still cuts like butter , I'm sure if I were in the south or east coast cutting hardwood I wouldn't have a clutch side crank bearing in any saw I own.

    Teach me please!!

    Most of us west coasters cut pine, fir etc. My 372 rips a burried 28. My 555 screams with a 24 and the 2100 turns whatever you want but is fitted with a 36. Im willing to say if your saws are running right your probably just cutting much harder wood. I get lucky every now and then and find...
